What kind of head leaves you thinking afterwards, "i would pay for that to have not happened. But i'd only pay $4"?

That house looks sweet! Cool tree right there, plenty of nature, even a ramp. My appartment is less ada compliant than that.
Also this post is some middle class bullshit.

Wu Tang means "sugar free" in chinese so there are a lot of products labelled as wu tang.
- Comment on Humans BY DEFAULT do not want to commit violence towards other humans, otherwise things like Killer's Remorse and PTSD would not exist. 1 week ago:
Empathy is a trait that almost all individuals of many mammal species possess. Lethal intra-species violence is also a behaviour observed in many (all, i'd guess) of those same species.
Individuals, their peers, their social networks, their identities, institutions and the specific situation all influence behaviour. When those line up one way, we do a murder. A different configuration and we do a cuddle.
It makes no sense to suggest that humans are either inherently good or bad - those are artificial concepts that don't even have a fixed meaning within a single human identity group. At the end of the day we're just organisms exhibit behaviours to meet needs.

All humans alive today carry neanderthal dna, meaning we all have neanderthal ancestors.
I believe the current understanding is that sapiens and neanderthals were like lions and tigers - we are able to produce viable offspring, but not always and maybe only with a neanderthal father, not mother.
We are a different branch from a common ancestor but they are also our ancestors.

Anatomically, for sure, but cognitively and behaviourally it's harder to prove.
For example did early homo have grammar? Many think the expansion of erectus, esp. over water, implies complex language but that's hardly certain and there's a lot of homo before erectus.

Garbage clickbait headline 😮💨.
"Some time before sapiens seems to have expanded into this particular area" is not at all the same as "long before humans existed".
Neanderthals are literally our ancestors, they have everything we think of as human.
There was a now debunked idea that symbolic thought emerged in europe ~40kya. The explosion of symbolic art we see then is in part because of preservation factors and how well studied europe is.
It's fairly well established that non-sapiens humans were capable of symbolic thought. No one is surprised that neanderthals made cool art.

Any correlation would likely be related to socio-economic status ie class. Macs were always more expensive, that's going to skew wealthier, which has way more impact on developement and learning than which OS you used as a kid.

The catholic church would absolutely use sainthood to whitewash the legacy of a rapist, but i'm sure that position has plenty of promising internal candidates.

Ugh last time i helped my father dig a hole it was basically rocks held together with clay. Shovels are a joke, the only thing that works is a stick.
- Comment on Revealed: Israel demanded Google and Amazon use secret ‘wink’ to sidestep legal orders 2 weeks ago:
born out of Israel’s concerns that data it moves into the global corporations’ cloud platforms could end up in the hands of foreign law enforcement authorities
Nothing says criminal regime quite like being terrified that others will found out what you're doing.
Israel demanded that if amazon or google comply with any requests from law enforcement, they send israel a secret payment equal to 1000 times the country's international dialing code in shekels.
A clause of "You have to tip us off if anyone is investigating our crimes", makes it clear that israel is intentionally committing crimes and google and amazon agreed to be their accomplices.

- Comment on Introverts of our era spend their time on their computers, but what did introverts do before? Like when literacy rates were lower (pre-1950s)? Or before the printing press? 3 weeks ago:
Humans are social mammals. In many important respects, it makes no sense to even think of us as individuals.
I suspect that in the past people with higher levels of social anxiety probably just spoke a little less than average, and noticably less on the much less frequent times they met strangers.
But i think it's its probably very inaccurate to imagine anyone who we'd recognize as an "introvert" in the much more collectivist cultures that dominate history.
- Comment on You never missed anything important 3 weeks ago:
We're social mammals and we will always spend large amounts of time engaging in social behaviour.
It maintains relationships, strengthens bonds, makes it easier to obtain aid, helps reinforce our positions within our identity groups, etc. etc.
Even when the words being shared are complete nonsense, conversing is never nonsense.

It is an objective truth of our reality, not subject to opinion or reasonable discussion, that peanuts are subpar on average and average at best.

The peanut mania that grips this nation and blinds people to objective fact has you in it's tentacular grasp.
- Comment on Discuss 4 weeks ago:
This is so undeniably, objectively true.
Peanuts end up in everything because they're very cheap, not because they're that good.
Peanut butter is ... fine. That's all you can honestly say. PB&J is edible at it's best, and then only rarely. Reese's is a testament to how easy it is to sell coagulated sugar and salt. Bougie peanut butter cups are just polished turds.
Thai is the only cuisine that knows what to do with peanuts.
